Nope, this still is nowhere near as cool as Jedi Knight 2. Lightsabers cut guys and force powers were actually something that felt awesome, not an over the top super power. The fact that this loser hipster is somehow the most power jedi ever seen, its ridiculous. A true star wars fan would not care much for this game, given how we grow up believing Darth Vader to be a badass, Yoda and the emperor to be amazing with the force. Yet this young guy can launch lighting and bring down star destroyers like nothing. Yeah right. Light sabers are not baseball bats dammit.

@TheHBK:Well in this game they actually did add dismemberment, also while jedi knight 2 was amazing force powers are not what you came to that game for. Also, in these games the ramp up everyone's force powers for the sake of the game not just the main character and lightning isn't really a hard thing for sith to do..... And don't say "A true star wars fan" I totally loooooove star wars and i really enjoyed the first game (and i'll probably enjoy the second) for what it was. Also, do you know what being a hipster implies? Cause Starkiller ain't no hipster.

The gameplay is going to frustrate me and the story is going to annoy me, but I will have no choice but to rent this game. At least they recognize that you're not supposed to be able to clone jedi. If that were possible, then the "clone wars" would have been a bit one sided.

@Jayzilla: Maybe you should go watch the movies again. If Jedi were portrayed in a game as they are in the movies you might as well be playing Dynasty Warriors. Force Unleashed actually manages to make Jedi interesting because finally they're more than laser sword fighters with the ability to move small light weight objects a few feet at low velocity.

Jedi as they are in the movie are not deserving of the awe so many give them. They never do anything a diplomat or soldier couldn't do... and soldiers can actually do it from a safe distance with a laser gun.

What we have here is a great game, greater than most of the Star Wars universe.

If I do end up getting this one it'll be for the gameplay, whereas the first one I picked up for the story. The idea of cloning the apprentice still seems contrived. And Vader's voice? Come on, man. It's like someone's friend put on that Vader mask/voice changer kiddy toy and someone told them they sounded like Darth Vader.
